The house is perfect for 2-4 people with spacious bedrooms, 2 full baths , comfy living and dining rooms and fully stocked

Kitchen! We loved the outside patio for our bbq dinners and morning coffee. Plum Cove Beach is less that 5 minutes walk-

It was never crowded even in July! The house had beach chairs, beach towels and even a cooler to borrow!

So thoughtful! There is a sidewalk the length of the road so we took long walks to explore the area. We also enjoyed the coffee shop for snacks and sandwiches. The nearbysmall grocery /wine

Shop has all the essentials Though we stocked up at the large Shaw’s Grocery store in Gloucester before we arrived! We loved the location, comfortable home and access to Rockport,

Gloucester, and beaches! It was a lovely location and home! We even played games on the front lawn! Highly recommend!!

Very charming & relaxing home to stay for our vacation

Denise is wonderful to work with for booking. I had some technological snafus trying to book & she was more than understanding & was able to fix so we could book & enjoy our stay.

The house has all the amenities you need on a relaxing vacation. My only reason for not giving 5 stars are the beds. The guest bedroom bed was much too soft. The left side of the master bed was also sunken in. It was the better of the 2 to sleep in. Very close proximity to hospital, post office, small cafe & plum cove beach is literally minutes away. A great central location to travel from for all sight seeing in the Cape Anne area. I would definitely return to this house if I were to have another stay in Gloucester.

The perfect Plum Cove cottage

Family of five from Florida. We travel to Cape Ann each summer and have stayed at many different locations. We loved the proximity to everything, especially Plum Cove, our sons favorite beach spot on the entire island. Plum Cove is a local treasure with parking for locals only. But with this home we were able to walk to the cove several times and enjoy beautiful sunsets too. You are able to park an additional car in the driveway and walk down some with family we had in town. The washer and dryer were great, kitchen is perfect, king bed and room AC units made for very comfortable nights sleep. We will be back next summer for sure. Thank you!

Gloucester, MA, USA

On historic Cape Ann, Gloucester is only one hour by train or car from Boston and is one of New England's best-kept summer vacation secrets. Made famous in the movie 'The Perfect Storm,' Gloucester has a rich maritime history and is the oldest working seaport and active artist colony in the United States. From early settlers to Hollywood filmmakers, the beauty of Cape Ann has drawn people from around the world. Gloucester's historic fishing port, Rockport's famous art galleries, the unique antique shops of Essex, and the old, New England charm of Manchester-by-the-Sea, make Cape Ann the perfect vacation destination. Enjoy scenic coastlines from land or by boat, experience breathtaking beaches, dine in elegant restaurants, explore fascinating museums, and see for yourself why we're the Whale Watch Capital of the World. The retreat is conveniently located about 10 minutes from either downtown Gloucester or downtown Rockport.
